The court was told Taddei was found to have 138mg of alcohol in 100ml of urine. The legal limit it 67mg/100ml. She had been out celebrating a work promotion with a friend on the night the incident happened, the court heard. After failing to secure help despite calls to family and friends, Taddei decided to leave her friend in the recovery position and took what she said was a "silly" decision to return to her house and get her husband's car. She said that she was not used to driving the Ferrari 458, lost control of it as she drove into the town square, and crashed into parked vehicles.The Sheriff noted her unblemished record and early guilty plea and imposed a 12 month disqualification to be reduced on completion of a drink driver rehabilitation course.
